Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you need to choose a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel agent and relied on the in person recommendations you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the fantastic options available? And more importantly, do you actually trust the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be practical, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently biased, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the functions that are important to the reviewer are important to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you check out, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have pleased guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover that hotels often post their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is actually essential to you when picking a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory that provides current, independent, neutral info that really matters.

Here are a few of the key facts you should bear in mind: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, near to the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is critical. Any good directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport offered along with some type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is important to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or conventional furnishings, local decoration or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you know of the alternatives offered.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is fantastic but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play a vital part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether or not they are wise or informal. A good hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly carefully consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider essential. The hotel directory should elaborate on matters such as bed size, Internet Access (its cost, whether there is WIFI or wired broadband connection), Complimentary facilities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking rooms, etc

. These things actually do matter and any good hotel directory should offer you this sort of recommendations on bed rooms – not just the number of rooms which is the usual option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the household traveler than the business traveler. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business traveler wanting to leave children, this is of course extremely relevant too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, health club, sauna – along with details of any other facilities close by such as golf courses.

7. Special Needs: the hotel directory site should recommend the visitor of each hotel’s special needs services and accessibility policy. Whilst again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely vital to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory evaluation team should have visited the hotel in question regularly, met the staff, slept in a bedroom and tasted the food. They should experience the hotel as only a hotel visitor can and it is only then that they are actually in a strong position to write about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you should not find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
